It's not a 998, just a minor update of the 997. Direct injection yielding a 15 hp increase and 10% better fuel mileage, optional double-disc clutch which doesn't require throttle lift during shifting, a minor rework of the front bumper, and droopy LED rear tail lights. That's it.

Default The 998 not the mid-year 997

Not referring to the tweaked 997. Any info on the 998? It is supposed to be released sometime in 2009 from what I hear, as a 2010 model. Any info?

Jumping the gun a bit, toronto...we'll see the Panamera sedan and likely a coupe version (successor to the 928) before the next 911 comes along...

Be prepared to get laughed at if you haven't already talked to someone at the dealership about this.

Try the 998 Forum.

But seriously, Porsche has not stated officially that there will ever be a 998. Unless you know something we don't it's only pure speculation at this point. For all we know the 997 may be the end of the line for the 911.
